so ive got 42" panasonic plasma, its the "industrial" line, doesnt come with speakers, but has output for the speakers, i looked it up online and the total output is 18w? but i was looking to get the polk audio m10s but i think the output for those are 20-100w will these speakers work or the tvs output isnt enough? and if so what do you recommend? or do i have to get amplified speakers? which amped ones do you recommend as well? help!

Yes you will need amplified speakers, likely.
The little amp in the tv is probably expecting a speaker with a very high impedence, very much like computer speakers or headphones.

well i mean how loud do you think it would be though? i mean the speakers are stated as 20w-100w but the tv total output is only 18, so if i do get those and hook it up you think itll be loud enough for a 20x20ft room? just something for my bedroom, doesnt need to be theatre loud but like enough so i can hear from across the room or blast it a little so i can hear the music if im in the next room? you think the m10s will work with the tv?

No. The amplifier in the tv is designed to drive very high impedence loads, not loudspeakers.

Advent made some a while back that were not bad...don't remember which.
Boston Acoustics does these as well, but usually wireless.

have a look at compueter speaker sets, Gordon.
These are usuall ycompiant to high impedence inputs.
Some are very good, although lacking the management from a puter, might be wild.
See what your tv can do via the OS menu.
